So I can't quit siad until the transaction is confirmed? Generally how long does it take for it to stop saying pending -110S?

And about the fees, I have four transactions that are just -10S with none of the money I sent going through.  Then today another transaction appeared that's -110 so one did work.  The address listed is not the one I sent to though which is strange.  Maybe some fees went through without the transaction because I was quitting siad? Didn't realize I had to wait for all the confirmations before I could close the wallet.

And yes I'm trying to send coins to myself does that change how I should do things? Thanks!

You can quit it, it only gets dropped from your local transaction pool, but everyone else will have the transaction. If you restart siad though, then you might run into issues.

It sounds like the coins went through. I'm not sure what's indicating to you that the send was unsuccessful, but if you paid the transaction fee you are probably safe.

Question in regards to siac (CLI)

siac wallet seeds

This command shows me my seed information ( i.e. password)  It also shows an indicator for Addresses Remaining,  What exactly is this telling me. 

My current Address Remaining = -90074,  Any reason why it is negative?

The GUI for 0.4.8 has been acting rather sluggish for me, hence why I started looking at the CLI.  When I use siac wallet addresses I get a list of addresses that goes past my scroll buffer.  I have had a few transactions with Poloniex and I have uploaded a few files to the cloud but I didn't think I had that many transactions.  The siac wallet transactions shows me all of the transactions and based on the block explorer they appear to be related to the files I uploaded.

When I navigate the Sia GUI the wallet section is unresponsive.  I cannot get the UI to show me a new address or list any of my transactions.  It looks like the long list of transactions and addresses I have is chocking the GUI, everything looks to be working fine on the CLI.  Every other section in the GUI works fine.

Kubuntu 14.04
Sia 0.4.8

Thank You



If you have a negative number of addresses remaining, it means that you've exceeded the deprecated limit of 2500 addresses per wallet seed. That's probably because you've uploaded a ton of files. Right now Sia is very inefficient with its address management, but you don't need to worry too much (though, startup is probably slow). The GUI is being unresponsive on the wallet page when you try to load the transactions and the addresses because there are too many of them. It should eventually finish loading but may take 10+ minutes =/. We're planning on adding pagination at some point soon. Also, the number of transactions and addresses created by the wallet during file uploading will be drastically reduced.

Sorry for the rough usability experience. For the most part, just ignoring the transactions and the addresses is probably sufficient for now.
